Canada Gets u ScoIding.

LONDON, June 6.-The Standard, this
morning. reads Canada a severe lesson
for increasing her duties on iron and
steel which it says, is selfish policy
and can only tend to sunder the colonies
from the mother country. The increase
was made it says, Ion the hollow pre-
tence of a desire to check the rapid in
crease of trade with the United States i'm
our favor. We decline the offer with
thanks. We do not want our trade
fOstered at the expense of our
neighbOrs, even if it could be done, but
it cannot be done in that way. The
interest of Canada is to foster trade with
the United States by every means in its
power. The free trade is on the Ca
madam side, the larger will it be in spite
of the insane tariff of the United States.
and the larger trade with the United
States is the richer will the Canadian
people become, and the more business
will they do with other countries"

Value OfCheerfulness.

hold the deepest and most unquali-
fed respect for any person who is ha'
bitually cheerful.
Though he be plain to ugliness and
ignorant to boorishness, or though he
be as poverty-stricken as the proven
bal sJob's turkey if he is naturally
and thoroughly and heartily cheerful,
he has more of the true principle OF
earthly happiness than was ever extract
ed from the mines of Ophir.
Under Dickens pen the irrepressi-
BILE Micawber became a hero and q
philosopher, not from any marked
.-~rrS,eil.nt vi talent, out purely from
the mans supreme ability to face the
most humiliating reverses with the same
serene, unruffled exterior.
What sugar is to coffee, so is cheer
full man to the neighborhood in which
he lives. While the society of which
he is only single member is self.sus.
tanning and independent without him,
it is much the pleasanter for being gen.
orally favored by his influence. And
who does not know about the world
of good it does us, when a score Of
small annoyances set in tide against
us, to hear the hearty laugh and look
into the wholesome face of our cheerful
neighbor?
A talented author once said that "a
cheerful disposition was more essential
than talent A sweeping assertion,
but who admires talent in human por-
cupine. Soundly sensible people pre-
fer less talent and more geniality.
The man who entertains you for an
hour with statement of his colds, and
his headaches, his losses and crosses,
and ends with an excruciating report
from the dyspeptic locality, is invaria-
bly, sullen, grumbling misanthrope.
Beyond doubt laughter is healthy.
Whenever we are thoroughly pleased,
we are in measure nourished. Hence
the old maxim, Laugh and grow
fat
All really healthy people are likely
to be good-humored, and good humor
ed people are quite as likely to be
strong in spirit.
Kind words and smiles and genial
greetings, and good wishes, are seeds
that thrive and bear fruit each after its
own kind.
Cheerfullness is like the widows
measure Of meal: the more is spent
the more remains, and both the receiv-
er and giver are enriched
Jovial, sweet tempered, pure hearted
people are charitable they are liberal !;
they are not jealous. They are the
sweet, their opposites are the bitter;
the two elements combine and make
the social world bitter sz0eet,. unfor.
tunately, the flavor of the bitter is most
powerful.
The mountain is grand, majestic,
and sublime, SO are great deeds and
achievements. But as there are more
hills than mountains, so are there more
little deeds than great ones in our
lives. If the hills vary our landscape,
and by culture yield US our daily bread,
then are the hills better for us than the
snow-cap mountains.
Let our acts of sympathy and love,
our words of cheer, and smiles of JOY,
tighten others burdens or strengthen
faint hearts it is better for us to be
kind and gentle considerate, than that
we had won fortune.

Consumption ofLiquOrs.

The report of the U. S. Bureau of
Statistics gives strong refuting testimo-
ny to the assertion that the use of wine
promotes temperance by reducing the
consumption of stronger liquors.
France is -eminently the wine-drink-
ing country among the great powers
Of the four whose statistics are given
in this report, she alone is becoming
more and more addicted to intox-
icants. Since 1880 she has far more
than doubled her consumption, not
only of wine, but of stronger liquors,
and is also becoming large consumer
of beer. Her per capita for consump-
ton of ardent spirits was I.32 gallons /;
Germany's, ia gallons Great Britain
and Ireland's, I.oI and Americas,
1924. The same year France consum-
ed 1888 gallons of wine per capita,
against less than half gallon per CAPT
ia for the other nations.
